ModuLUTE complex
Innovative ideas have a way of naturally attracting attention. When Craig Aranatt (of ZeroCabin) contacted zigloo.ca it was to create a prefabricated form of building system that is stylish, efficient and ecologically friendly.
Zerocabin and Zigloo have come together to offer a multi-unit living solution for both temporary and long-term housing needs called ModuLUTE - Modular Living Units To Enjoy.

ModuLUTE complex-2
The building block of each ModuLUTE is a structurally sound 20 foot shipping container that has reached the end of it's useful "cargo" life. These 8x20 foot ModuLUTEs are easily plugged into a light-weight infrastructure ready to provide a comfortable,“green”, efficient living unit.

Each ModuLUTE includes a compact kitchen, efficient bathroom, convertible living/eating/sleeping area and private balcony.

The ModuLUTEs primary benefit is its ability to stack, dismantle, and re-stack with structural efficiency. This property allows a number of potential configurations that can be utilized to make the best possible use of the unique environmental conditions of any building site. The complex configuration illustrated above is created to function well in a snowy environment like those experienced in alpine conditions.

ModuLUTE benefits:

cargo-container building blocks
quick erection time
comparatively low cost
durable construction - low maintenance costs
low site impact - light weight, efficient foundation
mobility - reusable living units (long life expectancy)
ease of transport - proven global infrastructure
efficient use of interior space
modular living units allow flexibility to conform to site characteristics

ModuLUTE “green” technologies:

repurposing end-of-life technology (reuse of shipping container)
recyclable building materials (at end of life)
solar photovoltaic/electric hybrid lighting solution (LED/compact fluorescent lighting)
high efficiency organic spray-foam insulation (soy based)
recycled finishing materials - walls, floors, countertops - low environmental impact
hi-efficiency plumbing fixtures (see Sinkpositive.com)
passive solar heating supplemented with electric heat
low-e insulated glazing
low off-gassing surface finishes (paint and glues)
